[Ffmpeg-devel] Read from a buffer instead of a file

Hi,

is it possible to read video from a buffer instead of a file with libav(codec/format) ?

I have MPEG2-TS video in a buffer, and cannot use "av_open_input_file" and the "av_read_frame" on a buffer, it only works from a file.

Anyone has an idea how to do that ?

You can add your own url protocol... For example I once made something with a bdataio protocol that would read from a BDataIO C++ object. Want the code ? Fran?ois.
